Situated on level ground in gently undulating terrain. A well-preserved moated site consisting of a large trapezoidal enclosure (int. dims. 50m E-W; 46m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8-2.2m; max. int. H 1m) with an internal wall-facing (H 0.8m) and an external stone facing in a slight batter to the base of the fosse. The fosse (Wth c. 8m; D 2-2.5m) is steep-sided and flat-bottomed. There is an entrance in the E side (Wth 6m) with a causeway (Wth 5m) across the fosse. Three small towers survive; the best preserved is in the NW angle, which projects slightly (c. 1m) beyond the line of the bank. There is a tower at the midpoint of the W wall, another towards the E end of the N wall, and there may have been a fourth in the NE corner. The latter seems to have had internal access via a flight of stone steps. No visible internal features.
